The Michael Clark Company

Awarded an honour by the Queen for ‘services to dance’ in 2014, a somewhat bemused Michael Clark staggered out of Buckingham Palace into an extended period of introspection.
 
This autumn sees the evolution of the company and Clark’s own dance technique, as he embarks on his second decade as a Barbican Artistic Associate.
 
Winning rave reviews for his technical rigour, experimentation, intense and fine-tuned choreography, Clark remains an innovator and defining cultural figure. He often collaborates with artists, designers, writers and musicians, introducing dance to new audiences in unorthodox settings.

Michael Clark Company was the opening act of the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury 2015 and last performed at the Barbican two years ago with the tantalising triple bill, animal / vegetable / mineral.
